The Tourist (2022–2024)
6/10
Intriguing outback thriller that draws you in and holds you till the end
2 January 2022
An Australian set and shot thriller from the Williams brothers, (Liar, The Missing, Baptiste etc.) with the excellent Jamie Dornan.

Feels like they've taken the first series of Fargo and rewritten it in the Outback, which is fine by me as I loved Fargo. Production values are excellent and its well made all round and very smartly written.

I loved the attention to detail with the minor characters and their quirks and back stories, the inclusion of Iceland's best known actor Ólafur Darri as a mysterious pursuer is one of many imaginative supporting cast decisions.

There's much to like here for patient viewers looking for something smart and a bit different. A definite winner. I stayed till the end and it had a satisfying pay-off that I didn't see coming.
